WOMEN- OWNED

Local woman-owned business puts kids first and expands into eCommerce to serve the global markets

Jessica L.G. Stout dba Bonita Baby started as a home-based sole proprietor business focused on the sale of handmade baby bib product in 2014. With SBDC's support, Bonita Baby transitioned into Bonita Trading Company, as a family operated S-corp in 2016. A year later, they opened a retail storefront and expanded into e-Commerce for the expansion of their product lines and added additional product mix such as children's apparel and accessories, and recently added handmade face masks for kids.
